Receiving an Academic Probation Warning is not the same thing as being placed on Academic Probation (though it is possible to receive an Academic Probation Warning and be on Academic Probation at the same time). The purpose of the warning is to inform students that continued failure to meet the expected Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) ratio could have future consequences in terms of their GPA, time to degree, and financial aid eligibility. For more information on the policy, review the scenarios summarized below as well as the FAQ's from the Registrar's office.
We have also created several documents that may further clarify this policy.
